How can you be more health smart?
Join our campaign to reduce your consumption of added sugar.
Are you looking for ways to be healthier? We have some simple tips and ideas to help you be more health smart and reduce your added sugar intake.
Here are some ideas:
Swap the pops for the water drops
Water helps with the digestion of our food, regulating our body temperature and much more. We need around 6-8 glasses each day, so swap those sugary drinks for a glass of thirst quenching water!
Tip: Why not try infusing water with some sliced fruit?
Take the veg pledge – can you do 5 serves per day?
Vegetables and fruit are full of vitamins and minerals which keep us feeling well, they also contain fibre which leaves us feeling fuller for longer.
Tip: Make sure you choose a variety of coloured vegetables every day.
Be more nutty – just 30 g a day!
Nuts are full of healthy fats which are good for our heart and make a great snack as they contain protein and fibre to help fill us up! We should have 30 g of unsalted nuts every day!
Tip: 30 g of nuts is: 20 almonds, 10 whole walnuts, 15 macadamias, 10 Brazil nuts, 15 cashews, 4 chestnuts, 20 hazelnuts, 15 pecans, 2 tbs of pine nuts, 60 pistachios in shells, or a small handful of mixed nuts.
Choose the whole grain
Whole grains are a great source of fibre and energy to leave us feeling fuller for longer. Whole grains also contain lots of different vitamins and minerals to keep us feeling well so we should enjoy them every day.
Tip: Try to choose unprocessed grains like wholegrain breads and cereals, the least processed the better it is for you.
Know the facts on fats – which should you choose?
Our body needs some fat from food as it helps us absorb some vitamins and minerals; but some fats are much better for us than others. Good fats come from avocados, nuts, seeds, eggs, extra virgin olive oil and fish and we should have some of these every day.
Tip: Have eggs for breakfast, use avocado as a spread in your sandwich, use olive oil as a salad dressing and have fish three times per week.
Have you bean eating legumes?
Legumes like lentils, chickpeas and beans should be included as part of a healthy diet as they are a great source of protein. Besides protein, legumes are a good source of fibre, low GI carbohydrate, folate, minerals and antioxidants.
Tip: Legumes are quite inexpensive, make a great meat alternative and are great at bulking out meals.
Dairy goodness
Dairy foods like milk and yoghurt should be enjoyed every day due to them being high in calcium, protein and other vitamins and minerals we need to stay healthy. Dairy foods also contain low GI carbohydrate which leaves us feeling fuller for longer.
Tip: Add milk to your cereal in the morning and have a small tub of yoghurt as a snack to try to get more serves into your day.
Move more and sit less
We should all aim to do about 10,000 steps each day but the good news is that it doesn't have to be all at once!
Tip: Take the stairs, try to walk to places instead of driving, go for a walk in your lunch break and try to get up from your chair every half hour and move your body. All of these things add up throughout the day.
Join in on the conversation!
Do you have any other ways to be more health smart? Why not let us know via Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #healthsmart
Post some health smart tips onto our Facebook page, tag us in a post or upload a photo of a recipe you've made! Just make sure you use the hashtag #healthsmart.

Where's Aldo JEM Award Ceremony from Wisconsin's Department of Tourism
Thank you to the Wisconsin Department of Tourism for their advice and support in helping to raise awareness of Greater Mauston as a great place to stay and play through our Where's Aldo campaign.
The promotion was funded by room tax revenue from the Greater Mauston Tourism Association and by a Joint Effort Marketing Grant from the state Department of Tourism.
The Where's Aldo promotion was a way to extend awareness of Greater Mauston and its brand - Naturally Connected - and is already clear that the promotion has achieved two major goals.
1) Using social media and targeted websites, the Where's Aldo campaign has raised awareness of Greater Mauston as a place with outdoor activities that reflect the spirit of Aldo Leopold and his passions for conservation and sustainable recreation activities.
With Facebook alone, the MaustonWI Facebook page reached over 63,000 people and Facebook Likes are up 11%. Web traffic increased by 92% and experienced a very low 14% bounce rate which demonstrates that people interacted with the website. More stats on the promotion will be available in the coming months.
2) The campaign has laid the groundwork for cooperation among the various municipalities and tourism assets in Juneau County, from Lyndon Station to Mauston to Elroy to Necedah to Juneau County Castle Rock Park. The partners who participated in this campaign will only grow stronger as we continue to promote the Naturally Connected tourism brand we share.
A very special thanks to the campaign partners including Juneau County Economic Development Association, City of Mauston, City of Elroy, the City of Necedah and the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, the Village of Lyndon Station and the Aldo Leopold Foundation.
The grant from the state and room tax revenue from the Greater Mauston Tourism Association have played a key role in raising awareness of the great outdoor activities available in Juneau County. Whether it's biking, boating, fishing, camping, wildlife viewing or canoeing, we think those activities exemplify the responsible enjoyment of nature embodied in the spirit of Aldo Leopold, a founder of the modern conservation movement.
We are thankful for the support of our state, our local partners and our residents.
We think Aldo would be pleased, too.

Munich, Germany
The Bundeswehr University Munich (UniBwM) has about 3700 registered students and is open to commissioning-track cadets. The academic year is structured into trimesters: Fall trimester: October 1st to December 31st. Winter trimester: January 1st to March 31st. Spring trimester: April 1st to June 30th. Norwich students typically participate in either the Fall or Spring trimester. In preparation for study at UniBwM, Norwich students take a one-month intensive German program immediately prior to beginning the trimester. Coursework is primarily taught in German.
Students have their own dormitory rooms and bathrooms are shared. Every floor has a communal kitchen and leisure space. Students either eat at the cafeteria on campus (serving meals three times per day Monday through Friday for about 3€ per meal) or they may purchase food at a grocery store and prepare their own meal at their dormitories. The university provides a fitness center, swimming pool, sauna, and sports fields. International students receive a free-of-charge sports membership card that allows them to participate in activities on campus. The university is equipped with a Computer Center, Library, Media Center, and a grocery store on campus. International students are also paired with a German student to help them adapt to the university during the first few weeks of the trimester.
For more information, please see the UniBwM page for international students http: //www.unibw.de/praes/internationales-en/incoming-en and the UniBwM buddies Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/InternationalOfficeUniBw

In keeping with my disdain for the current system of young people working and old people sitting around with nothing to do, I suggest we find alternative uses for the elderly. They could easily handle the menial jobs we've all come to pass on to foreigners, like telemarketing and raking leaves. Alternatively, elderly people could be tested on in order to improve the lives of their younger counterparts. As Homer Simpson dictated from a Ross Perot pamphlet,
Old people don't need companionship; they need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might extracted for our personal use.
It's not that I think old people are useless; it's just that they have too much time on their hands, and I'm sure we could all benefit from them doing something other than shuffleboard or crochet. Of course, we could exploit those very things and televise bingo tournaments or knit-offs (old ladies should have knit-offs, if they don't already). ESPN 2 is always looking for odd competitions, and old people (and bored college students) are always looking for something to watch.
At any rate, something needs to be done, because I'm getting tired of such a vast percentage of the population not being put to good use. I'll close with a Moe Szyslak quote, which certainly bears nothing of my actual opinion:
Call this an unfair generalization if you must, but old people are no good at everything.

Next Saturday is the annual Rock and Roll Seattle marathon and half marathon and I love this race! This will be my third year running it and I love the energy of the over 25,000 runners, the bands, and all the cheering along the course. There is seriously no stretch where there aren't people cheering you on which makes for the best motivation to keep running your fastest. The course is relatively easy with minimal hills, gorgeous scenery, and amazing on-course support. This of course only applies to the half course...I can't comment on the marathon course :)
Best of all I'm running this race with my ladies who with this whole running business started back in 2008.
|We had NO idea what we were getting ourselves into on this morning back in 2008. Happy 4th anniversary ladies!
I am GOING to run a sub 2 hour half marathon!
I feel confident that I can race this half marathon and I am ready to push myself next Saturday morning. I am usually a very conservative person when it comes to long distance races and stress over going out too fast, keeping a certain pace, blah blah blah. My secondary goal is to let these fears go and just race. What if I don't reach my time goal? As long as I go out and race and leave all my energy on the course I'll have nothing to regret. And secretly (well not anymore), if I don't get a sub 2 hour time at Rock and Roll I'll probably sign up for another half this summer to attempt it again.
QUESTION: Who do you know running the Seattle race?? Are you?? I will be in the family meetup area at letter V after the race meeting back up with my friends if you want to stop by and say HI.

It's cold. It's so cold. It doesn't take long for your face to become an icicle in this frigid Ohio air. Although the temperature is low, morale is high; the Miami University Men's Glee Club is on their first day of tour! As we all culminate in Presser 222, our usual practice room, people mingle about and ask the classic:
"How was your break?"
"It was good! And yours?"
"It was fine."
And so on until it was time to break into rehearsal. It felt good to brush off the cobwebs and sing some old songs from previous concerts. We ran through a good amount of songs and then went through tour procedure. After a shuttle over to Millet, we were off. Well, we were on the bus waiting impatiently…
Casey Wood says, "We have to do attendance."
"BOOO," everyone chimes in from the back.
Apparently it's tradition to be apart of the 'Piss and Moan' club if you sit in the back. It's a seniority thing.
As Casey went through the list, he was met with melodramatic or comical responses as the roll call went on. Everyone did their best to upset Casey as he went through the names. Casey met it with cutting most people off as howls of laughter could be heard throughout the entire bus. Out of nowhere, Harry Fox is missing. We all look around and make some jokes as to why he is late.
As we wait, we're met with a special guest. Dr. Jones walks on the bus with his daughter. He informs the bus that our job is to bring her home an alligator under the bus. Dr. Jones makes sure she agrees. She looks at us with a small shake of her heard and buries her face in Dr. Jones's shoulder. We all laugh at the cuteness.
And then, out of nowhere, Harry Fox turns to me and says, "Is this seat taken?"
As we move along this drab, snowy interstate, bus one gets into an intense discussion about all things nerdy: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pixar, you name it. We found out that most people are Ravenclaws and that most people have something to complain about in the Star Wars series. You can feel the bonding. It's a time where most people are putting down their guards and contributing to the conversation. The jokes are getting raunchier and people are starting to tease each other. It's a great vibe.
Whenever someone stands up, they're met with jabs about sitting down. That eventually turned into a group effort to make noise. For example, someone stands up and all you hear is, "MEEEHHHHHHHHH" until they sit down. It sounds like a bee buzzing swiftly towards you.
The Glee Club performance took place in a Methodist church in Dayton. It was our first performance in quite some time, but it was still a show the audience enjoyed. it really is true that the audience can't tell when a mistake happens.
We finished the night with our respective home-stays, where generous hosts take in clubbers, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my first one. Jack and Arlene Akerman were wonderful, and I learned so much about their pasts. They told us a story about how their name always gets misspelled and mispronounced, so I want to clarify that it is pronounced like acre. Jack Andersen was my roommate. Even though I've met most people in club, I met Jack for the first time last night. Arlene made a joke about how 'tough' it was going to be to remember Jack considering it was the name of her husband. It's astounding how complete strangers can come together over music. I know more great things are to come. Until tomorrow.

Like any good parent, you bring him to every doctor you can find seeking answers. None can be found. You bring him to renowned hospitals, clinics and institutions and after test upon test, more than a year after your first doctor's visit, a diagnosis is reached. The news is devastating. Your vivacious little boy has an incurable brain disease reminiscent of Alzheimer's, which will rob him of his faculties and eventually, his life. This is JP's story.
JP, who turns 12 in February, is your typical pre-teen boy. He is friendly, outgoing and happy - a true lover of people and life. He goes to school, adores sports, enjoys hanging out with friends, is taking an interest in girls and likes spending time with his family. Despite his terrible diagnosis, JP is positive and cheerful. Much of his attitude can be attributed to his personality; however, much can also be credited to his unbelievable support network that extends beyond family, friends and faith.
In fact, his network stretches all the way to the University at Albany, SUNY, where after learning of his story and love of sports, JP was embraced by the athletic community. Will Brown, head coach for the University's basketball program, even officially drafted him to the team. He practices with the players, sits beside them on the bench during games and even gets to shoot t-shirts into the massive crowd using the t-shirt gun! But Will Brown was not the only coach at University at Albany to take notice.
Throughout history, lacrosse has been called the "medicine game" and was played by Native Americans as a way to heal people. Armed with this knowledge, SUNY lacrosse team head coach Scott Marr welcomed JP onto the team where he has been an official member of the roster for two years.
It is because of exciting activities such as these, people such as the SUNY staff and players and charitable organizations dedicated to helping sick children and those finding cures, that JP can remain upbeat despite bi-weekly spinal taps, continuous physical therapy and experimental medications.
Time is a precious commodity for JP and his family. Every moment is spent enjoying the present and trying not to worry about the future. Gradually, he will lose his mobility, his speech, his hearing and his memories. That is why it's important for him and his family to create memories now. That is also why programs like Starlight® Escapes are crucial to families like JP's.
For now, JP's medications seem to be delaying the onset of new symptoms, and so, right now, in this moment, for JP, his supporters and his family - including his Starlight family - life is good.

PEOPLE tend to take their driver's licenses for granted, but in recent weeks Marylanders have discovered how easily that little laminated card can be corrupted.
As a result of the Dontay Carter case, the heat has been turned up on the state police and the Motor Vehicle Administration, which issued Mr. Carter a duplicate driver's license in the name of the man he is charged with killing. The MVA felt the lash of the General Assembly earlier this week when a Senate committee penalized top officials by voting to cut their pay.
For the past nine years, I have worked in the banking business as checking accounts coordinator for a large Maryland financial institution. I've become very aware of the growing problem of check fraud. In the past few months, I have dealt with at least a half dozen cases involving fraudulent driver's licenses. Yet W. Marshall Rickert, the MVA administrator, insists the problem is not widespread.

text: ST. JOHN XXIII OF ROME December 16th, 2015 During his lifetime and in the years after his death, the world referred to John XXIII as "the good Pope John." After half a century new generations who never experienced his warmth and love now remember him mostly as the pope who convened the Second Vatican Council. While some blame him for destroying what they cherished, and many others are grateful for the new possibilities the Council embraced, none can deny his pivotal position in the history of the Church of Rome. There is no way to understand the history of the Church of Rome apart from the huge waves of immigrants who flooded Western Europe, from 376 until about 800. What remained of the Roman Empire in the West gradually crumbled as these peoples moved south and westward, seeking a better life. The bishop of Rome took on political responsibilities and power that had nothing to do with overseeing the local churches in his care. Christian missionaries struggled to convert these immigrants, often baptizing entire tribes en masse--with little catechesis--and the Mysteries of the Church sank beneath a pall of human religiosity. In the middle of the eighth century, Charles, the king of the Frankish tribes, began to re-establish a center of secular political power. In the year 800 he declared himself the first "Roman" emperor the West had seen in three hundred years. While he was perfectly capable of governing on his own, the blessing of the bishop of Rome brought him additional prestige. History remembers him as Charlemagne. With Charlemagne the first fissures began to appear in what had been a seamless Christian theology. Claiming to lead what had been the Roman Empire, he faced an unbroken line of Roman emperors in Constantinople. To shore up his own claims, he gathered theologians who challenged Church life and doctrine in the East. Though the differences they introduced were subtle at first, they eventually led to Scholasticism and an entirely different kind of theology. By 1054 the differences had become so great that East and West could no longer understand one another and each excommunicated the other. While the bishop of Rome had blessed Charlemagne, Charlemagne's successors found themselves competing for political power with later popes. Gregory VII declared that he had the power to depose any emperor. Papal power continued to grow until the Protestant Reformation and the rise of nation states in the early modern era. On September 2, 1870, the Kingdom of Italy annexed the last of the lands popes had controlled for centuries. Mussolini created the State of the Vatican City in 1929 and gave it back to the pope. Popes lived there in voluntary isolation until the election of John XXIII. Over many centuries a powerful bureaucracy grew up around the papacy. Meant to assist the pope in his gargantuan task of trying to preside over the entire Catholic world, the bureaucracy, or curia, slowly acquired its own power that rivaled that of the pope. Popes came and went but the curia remained. Strong popes wrestled with it. It controlled those who were weak. And it held in a vise-like grip what had grown from the vision of Charlemagne. By 1958, when John was elected pope, the "Frankish" Church of Charlemagne had painted itself into a proverbial corner. Papal claims of supremacy had splintered Christianity in the West and alienated the Churches of the East. Scholasticism had created a sterile system of quasi-magical sacraments and rigid ethical norms. Once Christian countries were becoming more secular at an alarming rate. Christians in the West longed for a breath of fresh air. At first John seemed a safe choice as pope. The Vatican curia settled back for a long-deserved rest after the workout they had been through with Pius XII. They soon discovered, however, that a foreign virus had invaded their body politic: with John, the Gospel, pure and simple, ascended the papal throne. At Pius' death, when John, who was then a cardinal, was summoned to Rome to elect a new pope, he said something that would summarize his pontificate and his entire life: "We are not on earth to guard a museum, but to cultivate a flourishing garden of life." Politics now gave way to prophecy. The Gospel became the parameter of everything once again. The papal throne slipped from the hands of the curia, and the result was institutional panic. It was the curia that created the myth of "good Pope John," the man too holy to be pope, as a means to sabotage his theological and intellectual stature. They considered him incompetent and wanted to isolate the "holy madness" that was undoing their vision of Church—even if that meant opposing his every step. Few people knew what John's years as pope were really like. Behind the smiling façade was immense suffering caused by the constant underhanded attacks from his curia. On his deathbed he said to his secretary, "We have worked, we have served the Church. We did not stop to pick up the stones that were thrown at us from all sides. And we did not throw them back at anyone." John's revolution continues to be felt after his death. The garden of life continues to flourish in the most unlikely places, for it belongs to the Holy Spirit. Christian unity, so desired by John, is now taking place at the grassroots—and religious leaders will have to run to catch up with their people. Religious Orders and theologians are going back to original sources, sidestepping centuries of Scholastic stalemate. That is what can happen when the Gospel itself is enthroned in Rome and a pope goes out as a simple bishop to cultivate a flourishing garden of life.

Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness?
Folks have been debating the cultural boundaries of blackness for a long time, from the Harlem Renaissance to the 60s Black is Beautiful/Black Arts Movement, to a great unpublished essay by Trey Ellis in the 80s. Now Touré weighs in with a new book. Here are some excerpts:

We are regularly asked the best way to care for and clean 925 sterling silver jewellery. At Rue B, we recommend that you store your jewellery carefully in a box when it is not being worn, and that you never sleep in your jewellery; this prevents earrings and chains from being pulled upon and tangled or snagged. AVOID direct contact with perfumes and lotions- wait for these sort of toiletries to dry before putting on your jewellery. Always remember: Jewellery should be the last thing you put on, and the first thing you take off. If the lustre fades, simply polish with a soft silver cloth to restore shine. We don't recommend using silver dip as this can be quite harsh, but if you do use a dip, never use it on plated or gemstone pieces of jewellery, and always rinse in water thoroughly twice after dipping. If jewellery is worn regularly, you will notice that it doesn't need cleaning so often because the natural oils on your skin will keep it clean.

Was this a dunning letter which gives you thirty days from receipt to dispute the debt? If it is, then send them a debt validation letter. Is this company a part of the DS program?

Just because they send it to an attorney doesn't necessarily mean that you will be sued. It could be that they will actually sue you, or it could be that they are trying to get bumped up higher on your priority list. Have you talked to your debt settlement company about it?

I am sending a validation letter. I just got this in the mail today but I will fax it to me DS company Monday. I didn't understand the first question regarding the DS company. The letter said they have been trying to contact us regarding this debt to Washington Mutual and have been unsuccessful so if they don't hear from us by the said date they will turn it over to a law firm that practices in our state for collection. The CA is arrow financial services. The DS companies tell you not to talk to them and I am now with New Beginnings and will fax this to them Monday. Does this scenario sound like a familiar one to anybody. The total debt with them is $6300. Like I mentioned previously, our AM EX was with the feared Zwicker & Assoc. and they sold it to NCO. I hardly heard from Zwicker at all when they had the account. Any thoughts on this?
I got these from Zwicker. I got a summons yesterday with 30 days to reply at the clerk of cout in my area where I am being taken to court for a civil suit for payment. Try to work with them.

I can't really work with them and haven't been summoned yet. We are with a DS company so I want to see what they say Monday. How long did Zwicker have the account and how much did you owe? How are you going to reply to the summons? Is it an Am Ex account?
I am sending this to my ds company before I work with them. I haven't been summoned. They are threatening at this point I guess. How long was your account with Zwicker and how much did you owe? How will you reply to the court summons? Is it my imagination or are more people being sued lately?

Well. It's now over. Fair warning before you click through: the ending matches the tone of the entire series, and even though so many things happen, it doesn't really push forward very much. The beauty is in the introspection and the growth of the characters. And we get plenty of that in this episode.
Joon Young drops No Eul off at the hospital and asks the attending doctor to kill her. Since No Eul doesn't want to live anymore, the doctor should do his best to kill her. Heh. I would take offense as well if my girlfriend flippantly says she'd rather die than recover over a fever. He sits outside the ER with No Eul's phone and clothing, and sees a video that she filmed in the cabin while waiting for him. In it, she pretends to interview herself about Joon Young's disappearance. No Eul asserts that she's not worried about him being gone for five hours (when she totally is), and believes that someone will help Joon Young to a hospital if he fell ill.
But her greatest fear is to wake up one day and learn that Joon Young is no longer of this world, and to discover that she no longer can wait for him to come back. Clearly this show is not done with the water works, and Joon Young fights back his tears as best as he can.
Hopefully he will come to realize that he should get chemotherapy like his doctor has suggested all along.
Turns out No Eul is suffering from acute pancreatitis. Translation: it's treatable. She'll live. Doc is gonna have to kill her another time, and he has her discharged from the ER. They walk home together, and Joon Young covers her up with his coat and scarf and offers to carry her home. No Eul isn't interested and hobbles down the road. Joon Young starts yelling into the ocean, "Please, let me live! I want to live!"
Joon Young has found the courage to speak up on his fears and resolve to get better. He still has things to do for his mother, whom he's never been good to, and he wants to be happy with Eul after finally finding some peace with her. He's scared, and he's not ready to die. No Eul rushes forth and hugs him, crying and apologizing. There's nothing for her to really apologize for, but in a situation where her heart is breaking there's probably nothing else she could say.
Next thing we know there's breaking news: the footage of Jung Eun (with her face blurred out) admitting that she caused the hit-and-run accident to Joon Young has been released to the media. The news shocks everyone in the Choi family, as well as Jung Sik and his family, because they didn't expect that footage to come out online and make such a huge splash like this. Now there is a petition calling for a retrial. Furthermore, they did not expect Hyun Joon to willingly turn himself in for questioning to the police. Jung Sik has to hand it to Hyun Joon: the man that Young Ok used to love is not so bad after all.
Hyun Joon honestly confesses that he was commanded to cover up the crime by Assemblyman Yoon and had swapped out the evidence. He then dismissed a subordinate for disagreeing with his methods, which is the lawyer that Joon Young met. Meanwhile Jung Eun is rushing out of her apartment to the airport, ont he phone with her dad telling him to help fix it. After all, all she's ever done is do what he says because "he knows best." And now she's just trying to get out of his way again so that he can resolve it.
Except it's too late – the police have arrived just in time to take her in for questioning.
No Jik breaks down at the news, sobbing to his sister over the phone over the revelations of how their father died. Though he knew of it because of Nari, to know that the killer has been found and their father could now rest in peace is overwhelming for the young man.
It's big news for Haru too, but she handles it masterfully. She knows now that No Jik lied about being gay to get rid of her because of her father, but she's not going to push to get him back. Instead, she seeks him out after some time and asks for his number again. She plans to call him if she cannot find another man as good as he. No Jik smiles and gives it to her, promising to wait for that call one day. Haru has actually grown up well in this series, and is totally not annoying in this episode. I like that she recognizes that both need time to heal, and that both really like each other but the timing is just not right.
Joon Young confronts No Eul about the footage, knowing that she gave it to Hyun Joon and probably had no intention of ever releasing it on TV. No Eul admits that it was enough for her to know who killed her father, and that's why she gave the footage to Hyun Joon. "If you let it slide, you are telling those people that it's okay to act this way and live their lives that way," Joon Young points out. But No Eul counters, "But your father didn't cover it up. He could've, but he confessed to his crimes and is accepting all the punishment. That's the world I want to live in."
So see – No Eul is taking his advice to heart and really trying to build a world that she can tolerate living in.
Just then a delivery man arrives with a dog house – No Eul is arranging for Pororo to come live with them! (Spoiler alert, Pororo does not appear in this episode, but the mere mention of him makes me happy.) She wants to start getting closer to Pororo now if she plans to take care of him in the future. Joon Young is taken aback – isn't she allergic? No Eul says she's starting to take medicine to control her allergies, and will continue to do so if it ever gets bad. Besides, isn't she more trustworthy than Gook Young?
They start painting a sign for Pororo's dog house, and in the midst of it start smearing paint on each other's faces. They laugh, they run, they tease, and in a voice over Joon Young reveals that No Eul likes to wake him up in the middle of the night and tell him about the life she'll lead when he's gone. At one point, No Eul runs upstairs to escape Joon Young, but he doesn't follow her up. She grows worried that something might have happened and slowly goes down back to the kitchen. He grabs her from behind and hugs her, and then draws her in for a kiss. She was really scared for a moment, but Joon Young isn't dying yet.
We also learn that Joon Young got a call from Hyun Joon after he went to the station to say that he was very proud to be called Joon Young's father. It's sad that we don't get to see this actually happen though.
Back in the Choi house, Eun Soo throws a fit that Attorney Jang will not successfully represent her husband in court despite giving him so much money. With perfect timing, Hyun Joon returns home to announce that he will not have legal representation when he goes to trial. He wants all of this to just end by accepting his full punishment. He recognizes that he and Eun Soo have become monsters, and this is his way of trying to atone for their sins.
Eun Soo can't handle this. She sacrificed so much and went through hell to bring him up from when he was dirt poor to now a man of power and wealth. Ji Tae comes home at this moment and overhears his mother reminding Hyun Joon about how poor he was, about how he couldn't save his mother and get her a heart transplant in time because another person with power got it first. With every step they attained, something had to be sacrificed – even if it meant arranging a car accident to stop Ji Tae from making a press conference.
Ji Tae's jaw drops. His own mother… that was the last thing he expected. Hyun Joon closes his eyes in pain, wishing she had never revealed herself. Eun Soo kicks Hyun Joon out of the house, wishing him to go to hell, and goes into her room. Ji Tae, with a breaking voice, tells his father that he relieves him of the promise to always stay by his mother's side. He will take responsibility for his mother instead.
Hyun Joon assures him that he won't break the promise. "I'll stay by your mother's side, even if that's more hellish than hitting rock-bottom itself," he says. Father and son break into nervous smiles. It's almost sad but funny to see them commiserate over this, knowing full well how horrible Eun Soo is. Things have gotten so bad and are so out in the open that they can actually crack a joke about how shitty their lives are because of Eun Soo.
Ji Tae goes to visit No Eul to find her struggling in English with an international order for a blender. He takes the phone and helps her resolve the issue with no further struggles. Both are quite friendly with each other now again, but Ji Tae's true purpose is to see Joon Young, who is home, but…
Joon Young comes out, calling No Eul "noona" and telling her that he'll be going for a walk. He gives a short awkward nod to Ji Tae and walks off. "Did… Joon Young just not recognize me?" Ji Tae asks. No Eul grimaces – Joon Young's memory has been going in and out the past week, sometimes recognizing her and sometimes not. Right now she's been pretending that she's an employee at the house and taking care of him, because he doesn't know who she is.
Ji Tae follows Joon Young out on the pier a bit obviously. Joon Young finally stops and asks if Ji Tae knows him. "What kind of person was I?" he asks. It seems that Joon Young is aware that he's lost his memories, and is willing to hear anyone who knows him out. Ji Tae says that Joon Young was an absolute jerk who thought he was so cool. In fact, he thought he was so cool he'd do everything in his own brash way, and it made cowards like Ji Tae feel even worse about themselves. But everything he did was the truth.
Joon Young, poor memory-loss boy, is confused. Is Ji Tae giving him… a compliment? Ji Tae is, and he adds that he hates him to the core. But because he hates him, he wants their paths to cross again. And when they do, Ji Tae swears (with tears in his eyes) that he will love him and treasure him like an older brother should. Joon Young: "Ew. No thanks. What's with you man?" HAHAHAHA. Ji Tae was trying to have a moment here, man!
Young Ok is in the back of the kitchen cleaning dishes. She's been constantly cleaning this entire episode while holding back her grief, as if she is constantly trying to wash away her sins and guilt. Jung Sik joins her in the back and puts a ring on her finger. "I picked it up on the floor. Wear it," he says brusquely. Young Ok throws it away – why would she want a ring someone threw away? So Jung Sik puts it on her again and says he bought it. Young Ok once again throws it away. Even though Jung Sik is proposing to her, she cannot accept this. She cannot move on and cannot be happy when her son is dying.
Jung Sik tells her that she needs to wear that ring and visit Joon Young before it's too late. There's nothing she should feel guilty about for getting married. And, Joon Young had asked him to take care of his mom, so he's only doing what Joon Young asked. By going to visit him, she would prove that everyone is trying to fulfill his last wishes.
Let's take a break here because Jin Kyung crying is the most heartbreaking thing in the world, and skip over to Jung Eun.
Jung Eun is in jail when Ji Tae visits her. More like, she's being held there until her trial, of which she is absolutely sure she will win and get away with murder. Her father is on the case, and he's going to make sure that Ji Tae and his father are severely punished for their actions. She's going to have revenge. Ji Tae is unnaturally silent, and she dares him to preach at her again.
Ji Tae only replies, "If I told you that you almost won me over once, would you believe me?" Eh? We flash back to when both were in high school, and Jung Eun had a terrible wig on her head. She offered to tutor him in English, but in reality she's in his room because she's amazingly smart and talented, and passed a rigorous interview with his mother to be worthy of being possibly his girlfriend. Ji Tae was charmed to meet her, and for a moment thought it might be fun to date her. But that was the only time.
He still has a shred of hope that she might be human and can go back to those innocent high school days when she was earnest, sweet, and… well, human. If so, he'd like her to do her time in prison. And when she's out and has shown that there is some hope for her, Ji Tae plans to be around waiting at her side. No, Ji Tae, no!
Thankfully Jung Eun does have some pride left. She shrieks that she never wants to see him again and that she will never go back to him! She drives him away, and I think even though she's pissed at his high-and-mighty act, it's really the best decision for her. She needs to stop being so dependent on a man anyways.
Young Ok finally arrives at the cabin, only to find that Joon Young doesn't recognize her. At all. Ouch. She swallows her tears and asks where No Eul is. He immediately believes that she's a friend for No Eul, and tells her that No Eul's gone out to buy some ingredients for curry because she messed up making yookgaejang. Young Ok offers to make it for him, and she calmly and expertly starts preparing the ingredients.
No Eul returns to the house in time to see Joon Young watching his mother prepare a meal. She doesn't know what's going on inside (whether he recognizes his mother or not) but she decides to fall back and hang out in the balcony, giving mother and son some time alone.
Joon Young relishes the yookgaejang, thinking it's the most amazing dish ever. It is so good it reminds him of the kind his mother makes. And that's when it hits him. Joon Young stops eating, and at first Young Ok fears that the food isn't good anymore. But he grabs her hand and says, "Mother." He recognizes her finally!
The two of them sit in the living room, and Joon Young apologizes for not recognizing his mother right away. He comments how pretty she looks, and Young Ok shows him the clothes Gook Young bought her, and earrings Man Ok gave her. And finally, the ring that Jung Sik proposed to her with. Joon Young smiles widely, happy to hear that his mom has found a way to move on. He apologizes for not being a better son, but she assures him he was. It's been said that a parent should be happy with how good the kids were until three years old, and Joon Young was a perfect baby. He never cried, never got sick, ate, slept, and pooped well. And he was always happy to see his mother.
Joon Young bashfully comments how all of his mother's praises make him seem like a decent guy. He apologizes to her regardless for disappointing her when he was older, but he did try his best to live as diligently as possible. Good Lord the tears are coming down in buckets…
Young Ok then says, "I'll keep my doors open, so please come by whenever you miss me. When a flower blooms, or when the wind blows… When it rains or snows, I'll think that you have dropped by. Thank you for being my son, Joon Young."
I was really good about not crying this entire series, but freaking Jin. Kyung. She kills it and makes Kim Woo Bin sob like a madman that even I can't help myself.
Meanwhile Ji Tae is back at KJ Group handling some business. In light of the corruption that took place, he and his mother will be stepping down effective immediately from managing the company. They will retain ownership by having a majority of the shares, but the management of the company will go to an outside professional company. Hyun Joon arrives at the meeting room to witness this and gives a big smile of approval. Then his secretary comes up with some bad news: Hyun Joon's arrest warrant has come out! He might go to jail soon! Hyun Joon only smiles and asks his secretary to find a good place with yookgaejang to eat.
That evening, No Eul takes a few selfies to send to No Jik since he misses his sister. Joon Young realizes that they don't have any pictures together, and they start taking a few cute and goofy selfies. They retire outside to a swinging bench on the patio, and Joon Young is ready to fall asleep. He's very very tired, but he doesn't want to lie on No Eul's shoulder because he thinks she's going to wake him up again. She convinces him she won't, and he lies down, but then she checks if he's asleep. He murmurs in response, and she asks if he thinks she's not pretty. He assures her, sleepily, that she is, and finally falls asleep.
No Eul asks once again if he's really asleep, and Joon Young doesn't respond. In fact… he might not even be breathing anymore. (I could have sworn I saw his chest rising and falling, but it could just be wishful thinking…) No Eul tells him that his family is all here for him, and that she will see him in the morning. But Joon Young… is dead.
Some time passes, and Gook Young and Man Ok have new hair styles. Gook Young is also now flirting with/dating Nari. They're both busy cleaning up Joon Young's place with CEO Namgoong when the latter discovers the camera with Joon Young filming himself. It's when he first admits that he has the disease, and he asks the people watching this footage if he's still alive. And more importantly, what is his girlfriend No Eul doing now?
Segue to No Eul talking to PD Yoon about taking a bribe from a pharmaceutical company to not reveal their dirty secrets. PD Yoon splits his bribe with No Eul, hoping that the money will buy her silence. It would have bought old No Eul's silence, but now new No Eul reveals that she caught this entire exchange in a hidden camera in PD Yoon's office. She's going to expose it all!
She heads to the bus station, where there's an old sign of Joon Young holding out flowers and a caption, "You worked hard today, Honey." It brings a smile to No Eul's face and she speaks to the poster as if Joon Young were really there. "See you again tomorrow, Joon Young."
The End.
Some Thoughts
This show started out so well.
I look back at my excitement in the beginning and wonder where this show went wrong. And I think it happened halfway through the series. It started out as a predictable melodrama with hints of romantic comedy in it. It was definitely a color-by-the-numbers kind of drawing and something that didn't need to get messed up. But somehow along the way the writer meandered and wasted time. I felt emptier and emptier as I saw the show rely on so many flashbacks to help tell a story that didn't need flashbacks. I felt less engaged as the actors were left to mope and look wistful 90% of the time. I didn't know what to hope for anymore as any chance of excitement was getting sapped away by indecision after indecision.
Even in the end, I felt like we were in a holding pattern, where big things could happen and we're always at the edge of our seat hoping for it to happen, only to see it scaled back and not be that big of a deal.
I found myself hoping that Jung Eun could be a bigger, better villain but she ended up being weak and whiny. Maybe that was the intent, to show how Jung Eun is completely dependent on more powerful people around her. But it took focus away from her, the second female lead, when she should have had a more prominent role in the series. Joon Young never made his intentions towards Jung Eun clear, which allowed the writing to lose focus because he would waffle between No Eul and Jung Eun a lot and we would be left wondering exactly what his game was at. Ji Tae remained a consistent coward until he finally faced his parents, and he was someone who didn't really change very much. He was disappointing in the beginning, and disappointing in the end because he took action a little too late. It was made worse by the fact that we never saw him truly succeed; yes he might have changed his father's mind about the hit-and-run case, but he never got to claim a success in defeating his parents.
And as for No Eul, I have to admit that I think anyone could have done this role. It didn't have to be Suzy.
While I'm glad that Jung Eun did end up in jail, it wasn't enough of a punishment for me. I don't feel completely satisfied or assured that she got punished, and I don't feel like justice was served. We only saw Hyun Joon redeem himself, but that's not enough to make me feel better or to think that Joon Young left the world in a better place. True, one case cannot change the world. But this is a K-drama world where it's super small and everything becomes perfect in the end. If you're going to kill off the main lead onscreen, then you gotta give me a really good payoff. I don't care that No Eul sees Joon Young every day via poster, and I don't care that everyone is happy and has moved on.
The real shining moment in the last few episodes for me were Jin Kyung and Yoo Oh Sung. I was so happy to see the two of them share a few scenes, and I was moved every time either one of them cried. They are so good at conveying the pain that parents must feel in seeing their son slipping away. The fact that Hyun Joon needed only five minutes with a regressed-Joon Young shows just how powerful the bond of being a father can be despite never being there to raise him. I don't doubt that Kim Woo Bin is a fantastic actor (even though I do think he could have been given a better role to be the lead in a drama), but I do feel that Jin Kyung and Yoo Oh Sung pushed him further and made him more emotional as Joon Young. And that is why I respect these actors so much.
All in all, this was a very typical melodrama, but I think if it was only sixteen episodes it would have been tighter, better, and just as impactful. I won't fault it for being a typical melodrama, but I will fault it for somehow losing its way in the middle and having a hard time finding its way back towards the end.
Verdict: 6/10 – fairly decent for the beginning, falls apart towards the end. Acting is great, but would love to see the younger main cast more challenged in their future roles.

It's the last day of this challenge! It almost feels like this has come around all too quickly. I'm going to finish this challenge off with what I would consider as a weird quirk which I have.
Personally, I think it might be my humour. I am one of the most relaxed and laid back people ever, and the humour I enjoy is generally quite dry and sarcastic. I would guess that sometimes people don't fully understand or 'get' it, but that doesn't matter! I'm not the type to turn my nose up and consider that person as a waste of my time.
That may be also another thing about me…I'm literally accepting of anyone! But please don't take that for granted, as that happens all too often!
I would like to thank you all if you have been following my blog throughout the month! Of course, I will post as regularly as possible – but the everyday challenge for this ends now! So I'm going to give my typing fingers a rest for a few days!
If you haven't already, please ensure you subscribe so you don't miss out on future posts or daily challenges which I may do!
See you soon,
